1) Neal Pirolo to Join In the Next Mission Interchange

Mission Interchange is a conference dedicated to intrepid volunteers who gladly serve on mission committees, mission teams, and short-term mission trips globally.  The next Mission Interchange will take place on April 3 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm EDT virtually.

At this gathering, the theme will be, Caring for Your Missionaries.  Planners are excited to share that the author of Serving as SendersNeal Pirolo, will be a guest on our upcoming Mission Interchange webinar.  Serving as Senders was first published in 1991. Through 16 print runs, eight custom editions, and twenty translations, it became the “basic reader” for local church involvement for missionary care.  We will also have several other guests who will share what they do to care for their missionaries. Doug Lucas, Editor of Brigada and President of Team Expansion, will also give a presentation on “The Local Church Could Change the World of Missionary Care.”
Don’t miss this crucial webinar.  If you still need to register, please go to www.MissionInterchange.com. (MissionInterchange is staged by Team Expansion as a service to mission committees across North America and is provided completely free of charge and without any solicitation for or by Team Expansion missionaries. It’s designed to be a resource and a thank-you gift.)

3) MultiplyUs 11 Recording

3) MultiplyUs 11 Recording

MultiplyUs 11 took place on March 22. On this MultiplyUs, we discussed the Asbury Revival, How to Discern a Movement From God, and How to Reach Gen Z. There’s a lot of talk about movements these days, but how do we know when we are living in the middle of one? It was a lot of information to tackle in such a short amount of time, but we are excited about how God continues to move.  If you were not able to make it, you could catch the recording located at www.MultiplyUs.com.

7) No Doubt About It

7) No Doubt About It

We’ve recently come across the book, No Doubt About It, The Case for Christianity, by Winfried Corduan.  The book summary states, “Our doubts and questions make us feel so faithless. But according to Dr. Winfried Corduan, the very thoughts that call our faith into question are actually signs of life and growth. ‘We should never fear investigating the truth,’ he writes. ‘If we have to run from the truth, maybe it’s because we have something to hide.’ In this rigorous look at the essence of Christianity, Corduan argues from a compatability between faith and reason.”  What books or podcasts help you when answering questions about your faith? Please comment!  The book can be found at https://arcapologetics.org/product/no-doubt-about-it-the-case-for-christianity/.

8) What are “Very Successful” Church Planters Doing Differently?

8) What are “Very Successful” Church Planters Doing Differently?

In the Fall of 2022, GACX conducted a survey with 282 global church planters to learn more about their habits, beliefs, and plans for the future of church planting. The 50-question survey explored the state of church planting by zeroing in on three primary areas: online training, technology use, and collaboration. In addition to English-language respondents, GACX received responses from French, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, and Portuguese speakers.
